9 Days To Go

Today’s
press conference was a sight to behold. So many things happened. Let's see.

Trump
likened our intelligence agencies to Nazis.

He
decried “fake news”. Yes, the man who singlehandedly championed the birther
movement and nominated a man for his National Security Advisor who posted a
story about Hillary Clinton’s involvement with a Washington, DC pizza parlor
that was running a secret child sex slave operation is complaining about “fake
news”. The vast majority of things that Trump has said have been proven to be
false.

Trump
seemed disoriented. He kept talking about Clinton and how he beat her. It’s as
if he either doesn’t know the election is over or doesn’t have a clue what to
do now that it is over.

With
piles of paper on display on a table next to the podium, he and his
representative proceeded to explain that he is not covered by conflict of
interest rules and why turning things over to his sons to run is a legitimate “divestment”
of his business interests.

Not
to be undone by himself, he said that he was going to repeal and replace the Affordable
Care Act simultaneously. Has anybody told Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell?

He
also explained how he was going to build a wall, not a fence, across our Mexican border using our taxpayer
monies. Apparently, we are going to pay for it.

Trump
denies all connections to Russia and Putin while blasting our intelligence
agencies and using statements from Russian leaders to prove his point. I’m sure
the Russians wouldn’t lie to us about anything they did to interfere with our
elections.

The
man I saw today could not handle a press conference. I can’t imagine what he
might do at an international summit.
